Title: Chronic myeloid leukemia in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome: complete cytogenetic response with imatinib mesylate: report of a case and review of the literature. Author: Tsimberidou AM, Medina J, Cortes J, Rios A, Bonnie G, Faderl S, Kantarjian H, Garcia-Manero G. Journal: Leuk Res; 2004 Jun; 28(6):657-60. PubMed ID: 15120945. Abstract: We report a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) who developed Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and was successfully treated with imatinib mesylate. He achieved a complete cytogenetic response after 7 months of treatment. It appears that there is no in vivo interaction between imatinib and highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) and these drugs can be concurrently administered with safety to patients with CML and AIDS.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
